The Vein: Pneumatic Wearables
Keywords: Pneuduino, Blood circulation, Wearable device
The idea behind this pneumatic wearable is space flight and how our bodies would have to change to adapt to this new environment. A person in space will feel less gravity attraction, which will promote muscular atrophy. Following a heart rate sensor reading, pressure will be applied in critical regions of arteries and veins using this pressurized pneumatic wearable. This will promote the essential blood pressure to withstand the harsh atmosphere of space. The wearable is designed as a slim body suit that covers the left arm and chest, a crucial site for blood pressure regulation.

Workshop
DIGITAL FUTURES SHANGHAI 2018-Cyborg Futures, Shanghai, China 07/2018
Process: Rhythm study & Patterning
Rhythm study about the system of body vein and artery.
Swatch Example
The concept of visually synchronizing the human blood vessel and heart rate has been generated to combine with a rhythm study about the vein and the artery.
